OMG they denied it ( verizon)

[earthmama]

I just called Verizon to see what it would take to get out of my contract. They asked why and I told then why. The woman said that they are not doing that and if they are then it is not verizon wireless, just verizon. Well are they not the same company? WTF??

[earthmama]

1. oops ...

suppose to be under a thread I already started.

[habitual]

2. yes, they are the same parent company as far as i know. n/t

[ixion]

3. yeah, well Verizon residential denies any relation to Verizon buiness

who denies any relation to Verizon internet.

so no big shocker there.

[Hugin]

4. Verizon staff always lie...

I've had more than one run in with them on anything.

I think it's a directive.

17. LOL!

5. I thought I just read that Verizon wireless did not............

turn over any records. They have the same parent but are a different compnay.

[Hugin]

8. I don't care... If they're going to treat us to guilt-by-association I'm

more than willing to return the favor.

Take them ALL down!

[earthmama]

10. well I am still leaving verizon wirless

they are connected to the other verizon!

6. Verizon has too many subsidiaries

and, as a company, many of them don't communicate with each other. Some times, which has been my terrible experience with them, they don't even know the other exists.

[Hugin]

11. I guess it's time to shut them ALL down then.

[xultar]

12. I know it is such a pain in the ass too. But I guess it is kinda cool

since I've found out about this I kinda like it that way.

[shance]

7. Class action suit. Build a webpage of verizon users and go from there.

n/t

[xultar]

9. It may be a subsidiary. I know AT&T and AT&T ISP are not the same

company.

[fearthem]

13. Does this effect cell phones?? THX

[earthmama]

16. I don't think so

at least that is what I am learning.

14. I used to work at Verizon Wireless - its a diff company than Verizon

Even though they are both owned by the same parent company.

[Hugin]

21. Guilt-by-association works both ways...

Take them ALL down.

[rpgamerd00d]

23. What Im saying, is that they have separate CEOs, and...

... separate computer systems. Totally separate. Physically separate in fact.

[Hugin]

26. So WHAT!

They've managed to gather up data from at least three companies that
we know of.

I signed a privacy agreement with Verizon when I signed up...
They handed over my personal information anyway. So, they're
ALL GUILTY.

[Cocoa]

15. I would be shocked if the company gave their people anything to say

maybe in time they will come up with a script about this scandal or something, but more likely the customer service people will be on their own.

[Hugin]

25. Bingo! It's pumping out on the fax as we speak.

Talking points.

Probably goes something like... "If you want to keep your job. LIE!
LIE! LIE LIKE A MO********ING RUG!"

[Atman]

18. They are lying.

The articles I've read specifically say Verizon AND Verizon Wireless. They went out of their way to say BOTH. Someone is lying to you.

[earthmama]

19. Link to these articles??

I want to pass them on AND tell the rep on the phone when I call back to cancel my plan.

[kenny blankenship]

20. That wasn't us, that was our evil twin!

[Hugin]

22. LOL!

:thumbsup:

[Klukie]

24. Well...

when I used to have verizon residential and wireless they let me combine my bill into one for a discounted rate. I would bet that if one handed the records over, the other did as well.
